If you could have any three people over for dinner, who?

[Fuzz]

and why? Living or dead.

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Shrubbie

Just to give Jefferson and Lincoln a chance to kick the shit out of Shrubbie. Then, when that was done, we'd toss him out into the cold and invite in Churchill for some conversation.

[Kerrytravelers]

2. Bush, so I could let him see that someone truly doesn't think he's

clever, funny or "plain spoken."

Barrack Obama because I'd need someone mature to talk me out of what I'd really want to say.

And Gregory Peck because he is my all-time favorite actor and quite a lefty! He's Atticus Finch!

[tinfoil tiaras]

8. holy shit i love Gregory Peck

he was soooo gorgeous and not to mention, he was an amazing person.


and a democrat. ;)

[Skittles]

11. for a long time he was the favorite actor of both my mum and me

yes INDEED

[Glorfindel]

3. Thomas Jefferson, Queen Elizabeth I, and Bill Clinton

I'd just sit back and listen, basking in the flow of conversation among three astonishing geniuses. How could it get any better? :D

[philosophie_en_rose]

4. Alton Brown, Jon Stewart, and Oprah's friend Gayle

:bounce:

Alton = cute, smart, and could cook the dinner

Jon = cute, smart, and funny as hell

Gayle = because I'm a gossip, and she should write a tell-all about Oprah and other celebrities

[Jamastiene]

5. MLK, Jr., Gandhi, and my grandmother.

MLK, Jr.: Because he was such a visionary leader.
Gandhi: Same as MLK, Jr.
my grandmother: I just miss her, plus she could help me make my cooking better. She was the best cook I ever met.

[LSK]

6. Andrea Corr, Bill Clinton, Randi Rhodes

Andrea Corr is my celeb fantasy lover.

Bill Clinton is just a great person to have a discussion with.

Randi - do I have to explain?

Honorable mention - Sam Seder, Al Franken, Stephanie Miller

[tinfoil tiaras]

7. Mike Mills, Jesus and Hitler

Mike Mills, because he's my favorite member of R.E.M. and he's always so nice (and cuddly looking...haha, i really hope he doesn't read DU :P ;) )

Jesus, so I can totally ask him what he thinks of the fundie hypocrites these days

Hitler, so I can ask him what in the hell got him so messed up

im gonna copy yall with honorable mentions: Borat, Gregory Peck, Peter Buck (guitarist of R.E.M.; also in The Minus 5 and alot more bands), Al Franken, all 3 of The Dixie Chicks (its wierd, i was really into them, then i totally got not into them and now theyre like my #2 band (behind R.E.M. of course) )...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. Hunter S. Thompson, Johnny Depp, my Dad.

Only Johnny is still alive, but I think all three would enjoy each other. We're all pretty crazy motherfuckers.

[Skittles]

10. well, I would rather have living people but.....

Abraham Lincoln
Rosa Parks
Bill Clinton

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Paganini, Ysaye, and Kreisler

I'd just love to listen to them talk shop all night. :nopity:

[WCGreen]

13. Charo, Leonardo Da Vinci and Caesar.....

[populistdriven]

14. w, Dr. Kevorkian, Charles Manson

[NNadir]

15. Abraham Lincoln, Enrico Fermi, and Neils Bohr.

Lincoln would provide the jokes, and I'm sure he'd be fascinated with Fermi, who was wonderful at simple demonstrations.

I'd love just to watch Bohr ponder and wait for exactly the precise words. Of course there's a risk that Bohr and Fermi would drift into shop talk that would be beyond Abe and I. I guess that Abe and I would just have to chat then, which would be fine with me.

I wonder though, how Bohr and Fermi might react to Lincoln. They were not Americans after all, but surely they knew of Lincoln and it would be really, really interesting to watch their European sensibilities react to the subtle wit and convoluted metaphors in which Lincoln spoke.

[EFerrari]

16. Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal and Truman Capote.

:evilgrin:

[jobycom]

17. Three supermodels. Not why you think, though. Just,

they wouldn't eat any of my food, so more for me!

[LiberalHeart]

18. Bill Clinton, Emily Dickinson, and Annie Leibovitz

Why Bill? Just to hear him talk.

Why Emily? Because I know she'd turn whatever Bill said into poetry.

Why Annie? I want photos of the event.

It would be potluck -- because I'd be interested to see what each would bring. Probably Indian bread for Emily.

[StellaBlue]

19. Thomas Paine, Ann Richards, Jonh Lennon

nt

[xchrom]

20. mozart, picasso, warhol.

[Heidi]

21. There are so many people I'd like to have a leisurely dinner with,

that I'd have invite them in groups of three over the course of a year. First round: Gore Vidal, Molly Ivins and former DU Mod Terrya (and the guest of his choice). :D

[Omphaloskepsis]

22. And ME!!!

I do card tricks... And I can catch a bullet with my teeth. And I can also catch an apple with my penis.

[Heidi]

23. Oy.

It's enough that you're a nice guy. We don't have to drag apples into this. :D

[TOhioLiberal]

24. I would invite:

Bill Clinton, Keith Olbermann, and Edward R. Murrow. I would enjoy the conversation, and after dinner I would show Mr. Murrow some of Keith's special comments and have HIM tell Keith that he (Keith)is this generation's Murrow.
